D.2) Pharmaceutical formulation and administration of component 1:
Within the scope of the present invention the compounds 1 may be administered orally, transdermally, by inhalation or parenterally. The compounds 1 occur as active ingredients in conventional preparations, for example in compositions which consist essentially of an inert pharmaceutical carrier and an effective dose of the active substance, such as for example tablets, coated tablets, capsules, lozenges, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, suppositories, transdermal systems etc.. An effective dose of the compounds 1 , particularly the compounds of formulae 1a and 1b, is between 1 and 1000, preferably between 1 and 500, most preferably between 5-300 mg/dose for oral administration, and between 0.001 and 100, preferably between 0.1 and 70 mg/dose for intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular administration.
It is particularly possible to use the component 1 according to the invention as a solution for infusion, preferably in a physiological saline or nutrient saline solution. In an infusion, for example 10-100 mg/h, preferably 20-60 mg/h of the compound 1 may be used. This fatter method-of administration is exceptionally important according to the invention.
The compound 1 crobenetine, which is particularly preferred according to the invention, is most preferably administered intravenously by infusion.
Preferably between 10 and 60 mg (based on the free base crobenetine) are administered per dose. It is also possible to administer crobenetine as component 1 of the drug combination according to the invention at different time intervals in different doses for each therapy. For example, crobenetine may be given as component 1 first of all in a dosage of 20-70 mg, preferably 30 to 60 mg, most preferably 50 mg over a period of about 30 minutes to 2 hours, preferably over 45 to 90 minutes, most preferably over one hour. This first administration of component 1 crobenetine may then be followed by further administrations in doses of for example 5 to 50 mg, preferably 10 to mg, most preferably 20 to 30 mg over a period of 2 to 8 hours, preferably 3 to 7 hours, most preferably 4 to 6 hours. If desired this second administration of component 1 crobenetine may be followed others.

formulae 1 a and 1 b which are particularly preferably used as sodium channel blockers 1.
These formulations contain at least one compound of formula 1a or 1b or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a cyclodextrin derivative, particularly gamma-cyclodextrin (y-CD), hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin (HP-y-CD), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-(3-CD) or sulphobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBE-~-CD). The preferred cyclodextrin derivative is hydroxypropyl-y-cyclodextrin. Hydroxypropyl-~y-cyclodextrin with a molar substitution level of 0.5 to 0.7 is sold for example by Messrs Wacker-Chemie GmbH, D-Burghausen, under the name "CAVASOL ~ W8 HP Pharma".
"CAVASOL ~ W8 HP Pharma" is particularly preferred for these pharmaceutical compositions.
Apart from the compound of formula 1a or 1b and the cyclodextrin derivative the pharmaceutical compositions intended for parenteral use according to the invention may contain hydroxy acids such as for example malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid. They may also optionally contain conventional excipients and carriers such as for example the isotonic agents glucose, mannitol or sodium chloride or sodium acetate or sodium acetate trihydrate as buffer combined with acetic acid or a citric acid/phosphate buffer consisting of e.g. citric acid and disodium hydrogen phosphate or disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate. The solvent used is normally water for injections.
The molar ratio of the compound of formula 1a or 1b to cyclodextrin is between 1:1 and 1:5 for example in these formulations. A molar ratio of 1 :
2.5 to 1 : 3.5 is preferred. In the presence of hydroxy acid this molar ratio is preferably between 1 : 0.5 and 1 : 3 according to the invention; a molar ratio of 1 : 0.5 to 1 : 1.5 is particularly preferred. These formulations are most preferably used with crobenetine as component 1.
Apart from the formulations described above containing at least one compound of formula 1a or 1b or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a cyclodextrin derivative, equally preferred formulations for parenteral use according to the invention are those which contain mannitol as excipient, in addition to a compound of formula 1a or 1b or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The amount of mannitol is preferably chosen so as to obtain an isotonic solution. These pharmaceutical Case 11361-ff text BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM PHARMA GMBH & CO. KG
compositions may optionally also contain other conventional excipients and carriers such as for example an acetic acid/acetate buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate or sodium acetate-trihydrate or a citric acid/phosphate buffer consisting for example of citric acid and disodium hydrogen phosphate or disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate. Usually, the quantity of the buffer components is selected so as to obtain a particular pH
value and a particular buffer capacity. The solvent used is normally water for injections.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition contains an acetic acid/acetate buffer in addition to the isotonic agent mannitol. A 0.005 to 0.05 molar, preferably a 0.005 to 0.02 molar acetic acid/ acetate buffer with a pH of 3.8 to is particularly preferred while a 0.01 molar acetic acid/acetate buffer with a pH value of about 4 is most particularly preferred. The concentration specified relates to the total concentration of acetic acid and acetate; the ratio of acetic acid to acetate results from the desired pH. The pH specified is measured both in the pure buffer solution and in the finished solution for injection of infusion.
These formulations are particularly preferably used when crobenetine is used as component 1.

D.2) Pharmaceutical formulation and administration of component 1:
Within the scope of the present invention the compounds 1 may be administered orally, transdermally, by inhalation or parenterally. The compounds 1 occur as active ingredients in conventional preparations, for example in compositions which consist essentially of an inert pharmaceutical carrier and an effective dose of the active substance, such as for example tablets, coated tablets, capsules, lozenges, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, suppositories, transdermal systems etc.. An effective dose of the compounds 1 , particularly the compounds of formulae 1a and 1b, is between 1 and 1000, preferably between 1 and 500, most preferably between 5-300 mg/dose for oral administration, and between 0.001 and 100, preferably between 0.1 and 70 mg/dose for intravenous, subcutaneous or intramuscular administration.
It is particularly possible to use the component 1 according to the invention as a solution for infusion, preferably in a physiological saline or nutrient saline solution. In an infusion, for example 10-100 mg/h, preferably 20-60 mg/h of the compound 1 may be used. This fatter method-of administration is exceptionally important according to the invention.
The compound 1 crobenetine, which is particularly preferred according to the invention, is most preferably administered intravenously by infusion.
Preferably between 10 and 60 mg (based on the free base crobenetine) are administered per dose. It is also possible to administer crobenetine as component 1 of the drug combination according to the invention at different time intervals in different doses for each therapy. For example, crobenetine may be given as component 1 first of all in a dosage of 20-70 mg, preferably 30 to 60 mg, most preferably 50 mg over a period of about 30 minutes to 2 hours, preferably over 45 to 90 minutes, most preferably over one hour. This first administration of component 1 crobenetine may then be followed by further administrations in doses of for example 5 to 50 mg, preferably 10 to mg, most preferably 20 to 30 mg over a period of 2 to 8 hours, preferably 3 to 7 hours, most preferably 4 to 6 hours. If desired this second administration of component 1 crobenetine may be followed others.

formulae 1 a and 1 b which are particularly preferably used as sodium channel blockers 1.
These formulations contain at least one compound of formula 1a or 1b or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a cyclodextrin derivative, particularly gamma-cyclodextrin (y-CD), hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin (HP-y-CD), hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-(3-CD) or sulphobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBE-~-CD). The preferred cyclodextrin derivative is hydroxypropyl-y-cyclodextrin. Hydroxypropyl-~y-cyclodextrin with a molar substitution level of 0.5 to 0.7 is sold for example by Messrs Wacker-Chemie GmbH, D-Burghausen, under the name "CAVASOL ~ W8 HP Pharma".
"CAVASOL ~ W8 HP Pharma" is particularly preferred for these pharmaceutical compositions.
Apart from the compound of formula 1a or 1b and the cyclodextrin derivative the pharmaceutical compositions intended for parenteral use according to the invention may contain hydroxy acids such as for example malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid or citric acid. They may also optionally contain conventional excipients and carriers such as for example the isotonic agents glucose, mannitol or sodium chloride or sodium acetate or sodium acetate trihydrate as buffer combined with acetic acid or a citric acid/phosphate buffer consisting of e.g. citric acid and disodium hydrogen phosphate or disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate. The solvent used is normally water for injections.
The molar ratio of the compound of formula 1a or 1b to cyclodextrin is between 1:1 and 1:5 for example in these formulations. A molar ratio of 1 :
2.5 to 1 : 3.5 is preferred. In the presence of hydroxy acid this molar ratio is preferably between 1 : 0.5 and 1 : 3 according to the invention; a molar ratio of 1 : 0.5 to 1 : 1.5 is particularly preferred. These formulations are most preferably used with crobenetine as component 1.
Apart from the formulations described above containing at least one compound of formula 1a or 1b or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and a cyclodextrin derivative, equally preferred formulations for parenteral use according to the invention are those which contain mannitol as excipient, in addition to a compound of formula 1a or 1b or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The amount of mannitol is preferably chosen so as to obtain an isotonic solution. These pharmaceutical Case 11361-ff text BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM PHARMA GMBH & CO. KG
compositions may optionally also contain other conventional excipients and carriers such as for example an acetic acid/acetate buffer consisting of acetic acid and sodium acetate or sodium acetate-trihydrate or a citric acid/phosphate buffer consisting for example of citric acid and disodium hydrogen phosphate or disodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate. Usually, the quantity of the buffer components is selected so as to obtain a particular pH
value and a particular buffer capacity. The solvent used is normally water for injections.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical composition contains an acetic acid/acetate buffer in addition to the isotonic agent mannitol. A 0.005 to 0.05 molar, preferably a 0.005 to 0.02 molar acetic acid/ acetate buffer with a pH of 3.8 to is particularly preferred while a 0.01 molar acetic acid/acetate buffer with a pH value of about 4 is most particularly preferred. The concentration specified relates to the total concentration of acetic acid and acetate; the ratio of acetic acid to acetate results from the desired pH. The pH specified is measured both in the pure buffer solution and in the finished solution for injection of infusion.
These formulations are particularly preferably used when crobenetine is used as component 1.
